The Avengers assemble their first trailer!

After many teases and hints of what we can expect, Paramount and Marvel have finally given the movie world the first trailer for the forthcoming multi-franchise combining film, The Avengers!

Interestingly enough after much speculation about who will be the main villain for the piece, it would appear that the answer is simple and to many perhaps un-inspiring, despite it practically being handed to us on a plate at the end of one of the aforementioned franchises latest movie.

But this aside, the trailer does look impressive and is packed full of vanity and battle shots of our heroes (All portrayed by their original actors except as expected The Hulk), Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Nick Fury and The Hulk. So you could say that unlike those who tease in life, the teasers here have certainly delivered!

The Avengers is directed by Joss Whedon and is due to be released in cinemas May 4th 2012 in both the UK and USA.
